    "Thank you again for being a real lawyer."
    I just wanted to thank you for serving as a good example for all lawyers out there. Thank you for taking care of my friend and her son and for going the extra mile. I know it’s not easy. All too often I hear terrible stories about how some bad apples treat their clients. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one who treats their clients almost like family. Thank you again for being a real lawyer.

Regardless of the charge, our goal is to protect your future and achieve the best possible outcome

Aggressive DUI Defense in Brevard County

A DUI charge can have serious consequences, including license suspension, heavy fines, increased insurance rates, and even jail time. However, an arrest does not mean a conviction. At The Law Offices of Bryan J. McCarthy, we fight to protect your rights by challenging breathalyzer results, field sobriety tests, and the legality of the traffic stop itself. Many DUI cases have weaknesses that can lead to reduced charges or even a dismissal, and we work aggressively to uncover them. 

Time is critical after a DUI arrest—Florida law only gives you ten days to request a hearing to challenge your license suspension. Acting quickly can make a significant difference in your case. Whether you are facing your first DUI or have prior offenses, we will develop a strong defense strategy tailored to your situation.

DUI cases aren’t limited to alcohol-related offenses. If you are accused of driving under the influence of prescription medication or illegal substances, we will examine the details of your case to challenge the prosecution’s evidence. Every DUI case is unique, and we are committed to providing the strong defense you deserve.

By visiting this website, you are taking an important first step in learning more about your criminal charge and potential defenses. No substitute exists, however, for speaking directly with an attorney about your case. An attorney can help you protect your rights at every stage of the case.

When handling criminal defense cases, our goal is to help our clients avoid the direct and indirect consequences of a criminal conviction. Many of the clients that we represent have no prior criminal record. We are adept at assisting clients with complex and delicate matters and have experience representing clients from all professions and backgrounds.

Individuals in these professions face special licensure issues after an arrest and prosecution.

We strive to provide our clients with the compassionate, personalized, and reliable legal representation they need and deserve. Reach out to our Melbourne criminal defense attorney today to discuss your case.
